Title:
  Xorg fails to start on log out/switch user

Status in xorg package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  I've created a diff between the failed attempts and the successful
  initializations of Xorg.

  This happens frequently, necessitating logging into the console and
  "sudo service restart lightdm" to attempt to fix it.

  Five times out of Eight (5/8) it will not work. Eventually, Xorg can
  be started with enough invocations of the above command.

  It is interesting to note the difference happens to be the loader
  magic and the behavior of " (II) evdev: Acer WMI hotkeys: Close"

  The times have been stripped from the logs, but can be provided on
  request.

  This appeared after the recent Ubuntu release.

  Laptop is an Acer 5745g-zr7a, with Intel video built in and an Optimus
  enabled Nvidia card (accessed via Bumblebee).
